Works in Progress and abandoned fics...

Or how to tantalize an audience without actually delivering.

Last Update: August 3.

I'm writing at the pace of a sloth these days. And lately, everything I start tends to die before it gets finished. So I'm doing something I will likely come to regret. These are things I'm working on at the moment, and things I have basically given up on. They are now here for your perusal. I make no promises to finish any of them. But they do provide a bit of insight into the mind of an author who's better at ideas than at the actual writing down.
They are loosely grouped in order by the date I last worked on them.

Here Be Dragons

A UY:TSY Epilogue (untitled) Actuallu, this is finished. But Fred wanted to wait on releasing it till the end of ZZUY, which by current estimates will not be for a loooooooong time. So here's my take on Shinobu's final departure from the world of her birth.

Helpless Dancer A Magic Knight Rayearth fic, dealing with the changes in Caldina between the first and second series of animes. Abandoned.

Our Top Story Tonight A crossover between Sailor Moon and the British teenage soap opera Press Gang. Abandoned.

Untitled self-insert This was more of a traditional SI fic, as in Made of Stone Sean really doesn't have a lot of cool powers. Here he was going to get all sorts of reality-warping power, and marry the Nadesico girls. All of them. Abandoned, thank the Lord.

Lesbian Moon Obviously a working title. This was based off of a universe written about in Trials and Errors, where all the Senshi were gay, and Tux-boy was Tux-girl, based on Yuriko from Captain Tylor. Not *quite* abandoned, but definitely not moving anywhere soon.

New Blood Everyone has an Evangelion/Slayers crossover in them. This is mine. Abandoned.

Complete Control, Part 6 Everyone knows about this one. It's dead, Jim. Abandoned, abandoned, abandoned. This was what I wrote of Part 6 before my interest in Ranma fanfiction died. If there's a huge clamor, I may post an outline of the other unfinished parts here as well.

Senshi Life Another fic based off of Trials and Errors, this deals with Beans from College Life becoming Sailor Pluto. It doesn't go very well. Beans' real name was chosen by her real-life author, and is not my responsibility. ^_- Unfinished.

Undercurrents, Part 4 Part 4 of my Buffy fanfic with Faith. The other parts are archived over at another Buffy archive. Not quite abandoned, but definitely on life support after Tara died and took my joy of the series with her.

Untitled Bubblegum Crisis fic This stars Kate Madigan, one of those characters who's far more developed in fanfics than in the actual anime, and Sylia Stingray. Was likely to be shoujo-ai, but never got that far. Abandoned.

Prisoner: Cell Block NERV My Evangelion Chicks in Prison fic. Not meant to be completely serious, which is probably why it's currently unfinished. Part of this hit the Eva Fanfic ML. Unfinished.

Footprints A Utena fanfic, meant to be a large epic, detailing the part of Juri and Shiori from just before they came to Ohtori up to right before Shiori's return to campus in the Black Rose arc. Unfinished.

The Damage Done A post-series Utena fanfic, which dealt with the idea of 'what if Anthy found Utena 2 minutes after she left?'. Now abandoned, as most of the issues in it were dealt with in another completed Utena fic of mine.

Life After Wartime A Doctor Who fanfic, based in Lance Parkin's rather odd Charity anthology universe where Benny stayed with the 8th Doctor and they later had 13 children. It also was to feature Compassion, a sentient TARDIS from later Doctor Who novels. Unfinished.

Glass Houses A Harry Potter fanfic, set in Harry's final year at Hogwarts. Features Lavender and Parvati, and is shoujo-ai. Unfinished.

Untitled Buffy fanfic This starred Faith and Tara, and might have ended up Faith/Tara as well. I wrote it to try to make myself care about Buffy again. It didn't work. Abandoned.

Hanagumi Nights A Sakura Taisen lemon, in 4 parts, featuring pairings of the eight girls. Still haven't quite gotten to the lemon in the first part. Unfinished.

Weakness and Strength Another Utena fanfic, asking the question "What if Juri *had* gotten her miracle right away?" The answer's not very pretty. Lots of angst and emotional blackmail in this. Unfinished.

Untitled Excel Saga lemon Based off of the manga, this is very long, and tries to be as wacky. There's still huge dollops of the Gaffney angst there, though. Will likely have anime cameos later. Unfinished.

Untitled Noir lemon Another of those now common "What do the girls do after Episode 26?" fics. Unfinished.

Untitled Azumanga Daioh fic Another of those twisted Sean ideas. Chiyo's part of a SWAT team, Kaorin's an assassin and completely insane, the other girls are being kidnapped and tortured... but Osaka knows what's really important. Pigtails. Unfinished.

Present Tense The last of my Juri/Shiori series of fics, this will have the lemon payoff and the happy ending, as soon as I can get the characters to stop feeling sorry for themselves so much. Unfinished.
